I get to look at some nice binoculars at many different price ranges. I have access to Kowa Genesis , Swarovski 8x50 and the mid priced guys like Zen Ray, Meopta Meopro, Eagle Optics, etc. You get the idea.
Really I don't see that much difference in them. I mean I do see a difference but sometimes it's really very small. I'm 65 years old and I'm thinking that's why I don't see that much difference. Do you guys think that's likely what is going on? I know my eyes are not what they were even five years ago. I used to have perfect vision but it's gone bye bye.
So... let's say that my old eyes are likely the issue. Then for someone with older eyes is it somewhat of a waste to pay for alpha binoculars when a $500 pair or less would be just about as good viewing as a $2300 pair.
